"Hulahen"

This is little "Hulahen". She belonged to a young gal who owns six of these delightful creatures, 

the Boxer. 

She wanted a reminder of how sweet this girl was and to be able to see her often.

"Lola"

I love the names people give their dogs. Lately it seems they are using more human names. Brian, Jimmy, Stewie, Ricky and such. Not so much any more the old traditional dogs names. No Bowsers, Fidos, or Lucky's.  I think of their names as i paint. This girl had an especially suitable name. She seems so sad, distant but wise. Her name means "sorrow".  I'm sure she had a bountiful supply of love to lavish on her owners. I loved painting her. She is such a beautiful Boxer. Watercolour on Arches paper, 16" X 16".
